In an announcement made by Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, he confirmed on Twitter that fans of "Star Wars Battlefront" who subscribed to EA Access may now have the privilege of playing the game on their Xbox One console ahead of the users with different gaming platforms.
According to the Attack of the Fan Boy, the announcement may have interested the fans, but this move has also been done before when Xbox One owners who were also subscribed to EA Access were given the privilege to play "Battlefield Hardline" on their consoles, prior to its actual release.

Prior to the collaboration, Sony PlayStation 4 did not welcome EA Access as they noted it to be "not good value for gamers," but somehow manage to partner it with Xbox One. In August 2014, EA Access was introduced to Xbox One drawing fans based on free trials, discounts on subscriptions as well as exclusive downloads of games. EA Access has capitalized on it with $4.99 a month subscription rate or approximately $29.99 a year subscription rate. "Star Wars Battlefront," although made exclusive to Xbox One for now, the length of time until it stays exclusive is yet to be determined. The "Battlefield Hardline" prior to "Star Wars Battlefront" was given 5 days exclusivity on Xbox One and a maximum of 10 hours to play in its modules.
During the introduction of "Star Wars Battlefront" at the recent E3, fans can't help but admire the game and EA is kind enough to set a date of release on other platforms such as PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC which is on the November 17.
Recently, Electronic Arts also announced re-branding their accounts in order to "better represent all of EA's games and services." Changing the Name of "Origin Account" to "EA Account " will be the only one to receive the changes. User's identity and the history of gaming will remain the same in the user's new EA Account. Other EA games were also announced during the recent E3 convention.
